Chapter Ninety-Five: Imagination in the Ancient Village

According to the negotiation between Manager Xu and Boss Bao, the S Provincial Archaeological Construction Team specifically undertook the village retro project of Lijiawu and Leijiawu, and the N Province Huanyu Ancient Culture Repair Co., Ltd. specifically undertook the village retro project of Dengjiawu, Zengjiawu and Wenjiawu. After the contract was signed, Manager Xu and Boss Bao did not dare to delay for a moment, and went home non-stop to make preparations before the start of construction.

On the fifth day after the signing of the contract, Manager Xu and Boss Bao respectively led an engineering team to enter Peach Blossom, announcing the official opening of the construction of the new countryside in Peach Blossom and the retro project of the ancient village.

On this night, the simple and solemn ancestral hall of the Li family house was brilliantly lit and lively, and the five major villages jointly held a groundbreaking feast here. This is the folk custom that the peach blossoms have followed for thousands of years, no matter who moves the house and breaks the ground, they must set up a few tables of banquets, and call the neighbors, relatives, and good friends to have a lively time. It is said that the purpose of this is to pray to the gods and ask the gods to bless them. the second is to inform the ancestors and pray for the protection of the ancestors; The third is to let everyone get together, drink a few glasses of wine, draw a few punches, be lively and lively, and have a festive picture. Of course, the main thing is to remind the neighbors and friends, and if necessary, you have to take the yi handle to help.

Attending tonight's groundbreaking banquet were all the staff of the two engineering teams, the representatives of the villagers of the five major villages, and the main leaders of the Taohua Tourism Development Company.

When the banquet was halfway through, the heads of the five villages, Li Guobao, Deng Zhonghu, Lei Erbao, Zeng Sanduo and Wen Sibao, picked up their wine glasses and came to the chief. According to the peach blossom rules, the chief should be a special seat for the respected elders in the family, because today is the five major villages jointly held a kick-off banquet, the elders are very polite, and refuse to sit in the chief, so it is changed to a special seat for leaders and VIPs. Manager Xu and Boss Bao were arranged in the chief dragon seat as the most distinguished guests, and Lan Xinrui, as a member of the ancestral hall of the family, sat in the smallest seat among the chiefs.

Li Guobao stood beside Lan Xinrui: "Mr. Lan, no matter what seat you sit in, we have to toast you first!" ”

Lan Xinrui glared at him: "Are you trying to mess up the rules of peach blossoms?" ”

Li Guobao said: "Don't dare, according to the rules, you should be the guest before the host, and the manager and boss Bao should be honored first." However, as long as you are in the peach blossoms, as long as Mr. Lan is here, I only recognize people and do not recognize the rules. ”

Lan Xinrui didn't follow: "Nonsense! How can the thousand-year-old ancestral rules of our peach blossoms change because of me? ”

Deng Zhonghu approached Lan Xinrui and said softly: "Mr. Lan, we ordinary people only recognize one reason, whoever makes us happy, we have to toast whose wine first." In the past few years, the peach blossoms are a thriving scene, the days of the peach blossom people are getting more and more moisturized, and today the village retro engineering team is stationed in the five villages at the same time, indicating that the peach blossom people are coming to a happier and more happy day, all of which is not the credit of Mr. Lan. Therefore, I must give you this wine today no matter what. ”

Several other heads echoed in unison: "Yes, Mr. Lan, if you don't drink this wine, no one will dare to drink it below." ”

Li Guobao raised his wine glass, opened his voice and asked, "Who do you say this wine should be honored first?" ”

"Of course it's Mr. Lan." Everyone stood up in unison, and hundreds of high-raised wine glasses were particularly dazzling in the light.

"Mr. Lan, let's toast you on behalf of the whole family!"

"Mr. Lan, our daughter-in-law said that if you don't toast your wine today, you won't let us go home."

……

The deep voices of men.

Lan Xinrui stood up slowly and raised her cup: "Since everyone values me so much, Lan!" Then I broke the rules and drank this wine. ”

Suddenly, the entire ancestral hall was filled with the sound of blessings, persuasions, clinking glasses, laughter, and the grunts of men swallowing wine.

Li Guobao inserted into the middle of the position of Manager Xu and Boss Bao, first poured himself full of wine, and then patted the shoulders of the two with a little bit of wine: "This glass of wine is for the two CEOs, but before toasting, there are a few words that must be made clear in front of everyone, you undertake the 'village retro' project this time, not only shoulder the heavy trust of Mr. Lan and generations of peach blossom people, but also undertake the important task of making peach blossom tourism bigger and stronger and comprehensively improving the quality of life of the people." The beauty of the peach blossom is not only in the landscape, but also in the thousand-year-old house, and if the thousand-year-old heritage is handed over to you, you must weigh its weight, value and status in the minds of the people. If you nullify it, you should know what the consequences will be. ”

Boss Bao patted his chest and said, "Please tell the old folks of Peach Blossom to rest assured." Respecting nature and protecting history is the principle that our company has always adhered to. ”

Manager Xu also patted his chest and said: "Respecting history and restoring history is the purpose of the archaeological construction team. We will definitely show the best skills to return the ancient village of Taohua to its original appearance thousands of years ago. ”

"Okay, with the determination and confidence of the two of you, several of our villager group leaders will toast two of you on behalf of the villagers!"

"Wait, add me a drink." Lan Xinrui also raised her glass.

Eight wine glasses collided together in a series of clanging sounds, and the splashes of hops fell on the table like raindrops.

Boss Bao put the empty wine glass on the table, quickly took out three pieces of crimson paper from his pocket, gave them to Deng Zhonghu, Zeng Sanduo and Wen Sibao respectively, and hiccuped: "All take it seriously, this is the promise I made to you, if you don't meet the promise requirements, whatever you do, if you meet the promise requirements, you will promise me a request, just one." ”

Deng Zhonghu sighed and said: "Boss Bao, what do you promise, who you are who you are, you are the great benefactor of Peach Blossom, or my son's godfather!" You contracted the retro project of Dengjiawu, which is exactly what we want! If you want to ask for anything, don't say one, even ten, a hundred, we will promise you. ”

Boss Bao paused and said, "I want to make Peach Blossom my second hometown." ”

Deng Zhonghu was overjoyed, patted his chest and said, "That's it, I'll agree to you now." If you really want to, I will take you to the Deng family house in an eight-lift sedan chair. ”

Manager Xu also submitted a letter of commitment to Li Guobao and Lei Erbao, and put forward the same requirements as Boss Bao. Li Guobao patted his chest and was about to speak, but was blocked by Lan Xinrui.

Lan Xinrui was overjoyed: "I will now announce in the name of the village chief that I will approve Manager Xu, Boss Bao and their families to join Peach Blossom Village, and your joining will definitely bring endless vitality to the development of Peach Blossom." ”

The audience responded with warm applause.

The day after the groundbreaking banquet, the construction of the Peach Blossom New Countryside and the village retro project officially started. From this day on, the face of the Peach Blossom Ancient Village, soaked with the scarred face of the years, gradually regained its original appearance and luster with the footsteps of the old man of time.

Time flies, when the old man takes the giant spaceship of the earth around the sun, people are surprised to find that the five thousand-year-old villages embedded in the beautiful landscape of peach blossoms have been renewed, like five bright pearls, making the magical peach blossoms more charming and brilliant.

A tourist after visiting the five ancient villages after the retro, happily started to write, leaving endless praise and undying nostalgia for the ancient village of Taohua, the title of the article is "Ancient Village Imagination":

"If the ancient village is lonely, then the courtyard with carved dragons and paintings scattered high or low, large or small, is a lonely resting place. There, you can spend a lot of time in a daze, thinking about your emotional ups and downs or loneliness, your inner loneliness or anxiety, no one can disturb your loneliness!

If the ancient village is soft, then every tree, tree, flower, grass, mountain and stone can make you soft to the extreme. The slanting sun penetrates the stems and leaves of flowers, the green grass gently brushes the hardness of the mountains, the flowers and trees fall in love, the mountains and rocks embrace each other, and the plants and trees kiss each other. Everything is kneading the softness of your heart!

If the ancient village is pleasant, then the springs, streams, and natural tap water from every house are all beating with cheerful notes. When you pluck a handful of spring water and sprinkle it on your face, the notes will jump back and forth in your mouth, eyes, ears, nose and lips. Make your five senses, and even every cell in your body, jump.

If the ancient village is strong, then the stone steps, stone corridors, stone walls, and stone household items are the embodiment of strength. Although it has gone through thousands of years of wind, rain, snow and frost, it is still ushered in with a strong body. Stepping on, knocking, the constant sound makes you spontaneously have endless reverie about the years it flows.

If the ancient village is happy, then the acquaintance, acquaintance, embrace, love, and love with the ancient village is a happy chapter. With my feet on the earth of the ancient village and the blue sky of the ancient village on my head, I am breathing, shouting, singing, and running between your heaven and earth.

I am intoxicated by the long history of the ancient village, and the beautiful scenery of the ancient village for thousands of years! Revel in the fate of meeting with the warm and honest owner in the ancient village! Yes! Peach blossoms, an ancient village that will never fall. ”

Lan Xinrui forwarded the manuscript to Wen Lina and gave instructions for it to be published on the front page of Peach Blossom Literature.
